    Nice Work Ben will look for it when you release the kit. Does the fencing or stone wall come with the kit?

    Thanks John, When you're saying stuck at 90% on the caboose, because of construction issues, or lack of motivation?:bear-tongue: Give me a buzz if you need help somewhere!

    Hey hey! Thanks, It took me 2 years just to get all the side views, that was hard as hell, not a lot of picture exist of the back view, but since the owners had put this site for sale, the project came back on line since I was able to see a little more.

    Arg! I should have taken picture when I've build the base frame, the stone wall was done at the same time I've poor Paris plaster over the entire foam base, using a hobby spatula I've fashioned 3 strait walls, then I've only scrape the lines with an X-acto to simulate each stone, it was clumsily done, if I may say so!

    All lasered parts will be in the kit, same amount of fences seen here, even the patriot flags, and quite a few gutters too.

    Ben,
    A wonderful piece of work. Well done and something to be proud of.
    Two thumbs up from Loren and Karin.

    BTW.....when you said "since the owners had put this site for sale".....does that mean you did a little reconnoitering after normal hours?

    Kind of reminds me of some fence hopping I've done myself after 'normal' hours. I got curtly turned away just the other day by a guy who didn't want me to take pictures. Guess I'll be doing some more behind the enemy lines snooping with my camera pretty soon.

    Anyone got bail money? :eek:)

    Hem! No, not realy, Ioha is not really in my neighborhood!:bear-laugh:
    It's just that since the Lansing family had put their farmhouse on sale this year, more and more pictures became available on the net.

    Robert,
    I will not be denied this structure that I plan to custom build and if there is interest, then I'll turn it into a laser kit.

    I just have to pick the right time to take my camera and shoot the pictures. Funny thing is that this structure is only 1 miles from MTL.

    Maybe Google Earth already took a picture..did you check?
    Good looking houses...these are on my short wish list..in the long run.
    I like the idea of themes like movie houses. I do like making figures in Z from movies and TV
    TV houses would be great idea. I seen someone making them in dollhouse scale, and..they weren't even close!! AwfULL!!
    I did venture into this with a scratch built Clampett house. ( the one in the Tenn hills)
    Would be nice to see the house the Cleavers or the Adams or Waltons lived in.
